There's no takers on this now so it's available

I think it's gone now matey, just sorting out payment. If not i'll mention it in the thread

Shipping would only be £8! I think it's gone now anyways Ta Steve

Good stuff! Forgot to mention that the strings will probably need replacing as they're not the brightest, at least not to my taste. They're all there though and it still sounds good Ta Steve

Aye i thought it'd be Bubinga, wasn't sure if they made the early ones out of something different. As for the price, i'm just passing on the love! I got it cheap so i'm selling it cheap! Ammended to V950B!

Hi I bought this recently to see if i liked it as i'd always liked the 4 string version. I do like it but can't justify keeping it so it has to go. It was sold as an Encore mahogany bodied bass, however it's actually a Vintage V940, the early version with gold hardware. It needed a good clean and some work and parts but it's come up really nice, the only things i'd mention are: - Buckle rash on the back - One of the retainer screws on the bridge doesn't match the others - The neck bolts aren't original - It may need a new battery connector wiring if it's gonna see heavy use (cost pennies) - The clip on the battery box doesn't spring back (still secure though, you just have to push it back. A new battery box is around £5 - £6 but this one works fine) That's all i can think of I bought this bass for £50, with delivery and parts it owes me around £65 so i'd like this back. No offers unless they're more than £65! I'll ship it with any courier you like, i usually use Interparcel as they're only around £8, so you could have this delivered for £73 I'm near Blackpool if anyone fancies trying it out

Senditnow will ship boxes for around £8, they use UPS. Use their economy service, last time i used them the bass arrived the next day If you can ship and fancy a px on a Vintage V940 bass with cash your way then i'l interested too!

[quote name='alembic1989' post='592951' date='Sep 8 2009, 03:18 PM']I do like this jazz...but I'm put off by the fact that the back pick up sound doesn't sound like a jazz...I think you said it had more of a precision type tone....that's a shame.[/quote] It does sound like a Jazz, just a bit darker with a bit more thud available. Roll off a bit of the neck pickup and you're in Jazz territory, roll off the bridge a little and knock the tone back and it does a great P impression. It can't quite do the nasal tone you can get out of a jazz, although with a more versitile eq you could probably get it. It does sound smoother than the Jazzes i've had, which i preferred for fretless. It's not the sort of active tone that jumps out at you with sizzling highs, it just sounds like a beefed up passive bass, which again i like on fretless I guess it's probably due to the woods and the basic tone control, there's a nice big control cavity on the back in case you wanted to add a different eq

How much for the Toby 4?

Just noticed the reflection in that last photo. Is that a massive blonde affro you're sporting?

I had the Shine badged version of this bass, astounding value for money. I was totally surprised at just how good it was, a great intro to six strings and totally giggable
